Abstract The Bauru Basin was one of the great Cretaceous desert basins of the world,
evolved in arid zone called Southern Hot Arid Belt. Its paleobiological record consists mainly …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Bauru Group in south‐east Brazil consists of alluvial strata
whose characteristics and distribution indicate a fluvial system developed in a semi‐arid to …

The hyperossified frog Baurubatrachus pricei Báez & Peri 1989 from the Maastrichtian Serra
da Galga Member of the Marília Formation is described in detail, as preparation of the type …

The recognition of palygorskite in soils and sediments is often indicative of arid and semi-
arid environments where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation and the water has an …

Pseudo–coprolites are inorganic structures often confused with fossil faeces. The absence
of some diagnostic features, such as inclusions, coprofabrics, grain adhesion, and defined …

In the last 40 years, successive revisions have been introduced to the lithostratigraphy of the
Late Cretaceous of the Norte Basin, whose record is formed by predominantly siliciclastic …

Paleosols are soils that were formed on an ancient landscape. They may be buried soils
and/or soils incorporated into the sedimentary sequences, exhumed soils, or soils …

Soils and paleosols reflect the complex interplay between sedimentation, erosion and non-
deposition. An analysis of the mineralogical components of paleosols is critical for the …

Abstract The Bauru Group (Campanian–Maastrichtian) has one of the richest fossil records
of Cretaceous in South America. All dinosaur fossils from this unit were assigned to …

The influence of post-burial geological processes on preserving pedogenic properties has
great importance in identifying ancient paleosols both in the field and in a laboratory …
